Description
Jisu Park and team tested a bone growth protein graft for scaphoid waist breaks that fail to heal. Their 2026 early clinic study trailed seven people in a row, fixed with two headless squeeze screws plus NOVOSIS. NOVOSIS is lab-made human bone growth protein in a mineral carrier. It ran from August 2023 to December 2024. Scaphoid breaks that fail to heal are hard, with scant blood flow and bones out of line.
All seven healed on X-ray by last check, after 12.4 months follow-up. Pain scores fell from 4.9 at the start to 0.4 at last check, and Mayo Wrist Scores rose from 59.3 at the start to 94.3 at last check. X-ray angles got much better. No surgery-linked harms like infection, stray bone growth, or donor harm showed up. The team calls NOVOSIS a workable own-bone graft swap, with healing and wrist use. Bigger studies must back the early result.
